It did it's usual thing of becoming eternally box-ridden mid-story. So (with Shrike's nagging) I axed it in the face.

And seen as the NW crowd are bloody useless when it comes to new ideas for the boards/space, I thought I'd ask here.

Whadaya think the new focus of the soon-to-be redone PenguinBomb forums should be?


NOTE: While it is true that HostDime allow pornography to be hosted on the server, I ain't making it a porn-based forum.

[TopAce]

General game discussion. Would attract many people.

[an0n]

The gamer-forum thing is so much of a cliche I'd have to kill myself for even attempting it.

[TopAce]

Agricultural Advice Forum for shepards.
I guess you do not want to establish another FS forum.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Make it a place for ranting about any and everything, but ensure that all posts are in a mock-Irish accent.

[diamondgeezer]

Come on, celebrity pr0n site. You know you want to

[TopAce]

Hardware - Software discussion?
or
Forums for mods? I mean mods for all sort of games.

[Shrike]

There are N gaming-based forums out there, where N is an arbitrarily large number.  Why add one more?

[Petrarch of the VBB]

To have N+1?

[TrashMan]

I consider my proposal very good....

[Sandwich]

A forum for webmasters perhaps? Latest Google tricks? A polling forum for anything under the sun?

[Solatar]

Just a general community site, what's wrong with that? Or maybe provide hosting for art galleries and such.

[Ace]

Well for my idea... you'll need to rename the site vasudanse.cx

However, considering what happened to the goat one, I don't think it would go over well...

[Rictor]

Are you honestly interested in an idea?

With some web programming knowledge and a little time, you could something which would undoubtedly be both awesome and attract large masses of people.

A game tech-support site. No admins or ****, just users. I'm always pissed when I egt a game (sometimes not through entirely legal means) and then have to search around for days through various boards and IRC chans when I have a problem. Usually, the place where I got it either has no forum or has like 2 posts specific to that game. So no help there. And as you can imagine, the official boards aren't much help either.

So, you create a system whereby users can ask for tech support to get their games working, and another user who knows the solution posts the answer. When you type in the name of the game, you get a set of questions/solutions, so the same one doesn't get asked ad nauseum. And no discrimination based on legitimacy of purchase.

It could be the GameFAQS of game-tech-help.

And if this idea gets implemented, which is doubtful, I am damn well being made a super admin on the board/website/thing.

A forum for webmasters perhaps?

You probably don't know about Heretic and BBadmins. It crashed and burned faster than Columbia.

Latest Google tricks?

[/b]Buh?

A polling forum for anything under the sun?

It's been done.

Just a general community site, what's wrong with that?

The lack of a community, for one thing.

[-Rictors Idea-]

I'm reasonably sure it'd violate the 'no goddamn warez' clause of my hosting T&C's.


I'd be happy to just slap another RPG game onto the boards if I could find one sufficiently different to NW and with enough public interest to make it viable.

Well in all seriousness the forum crash discouraged me from finishing writing up the V-T war Nodewars.

One idea for a game is something in a fantasy setting with the players as gods and religions as the empires. Your power is based on the amount of worshippers you have and the strength of their faith (or fear ) "Characters" that you use in the story debate are also immortals whether humans given those powers or demigods. (offspring of your deity and a human) The world it would be set in would sort of be like classical Greece and Rome. You have one big multicultural city where the religions try to one-up eachother while there's also wars and other conflicts between regions held by followers.

Anyway, the idea is that the rules should allow for some pretty dispicable as well as good deities. There is a basic limit on how advanced the tech gets as well as some basic limits on how much a god can do in a period of time as well as their actions must be within their sphere of influence, but overall it's open for players to do what they want.

[Knight Templar]

You know, a mythologocial RPG dealie might be pretty l33t. Or you could just do a non-FS based space RPG, which would be cool.

Don't see anything wrong with celeb pr0n either, but hey.

[01010]

Make it a forum dedicated to constructing and refining plastic explosives. That has potential.

[Knight Templar]

Ah yes, it could be the Fight Club of forums.

[Stryke 9]

There already are a couple, and there's not a whole lot to talk about it, but anything that makes Echelon **** itself is a good thing in my book.
